The fate
of a city of more than 100,000 was determined by less than 1,000 voters. Is
this what those patriots fought, suffered and died for? From 1775 to 1783, some
27,000 American revolutionaries died. As we witness the apathy in society
today, one wonders if their deaths were in vain?

Their
deaths, and the efforts of thousands of others, allowed our Founding Fathers to
unfurl what was to become the United States of America. And millions more gave
their lives at places like Fort George, Bull Run, San Juan Hill, San Miguelito
Ranch, Argonne Forest, Iwo Jima, Chosin Reservoir, Hamburger Hill, Fallujah and
Kandahar — to protect that vision.
